“It Happened to Me, It Could Happen to You”

Original article here: “It Happened to Me, It Could Happen to You”

What is this post about?
In summary—Mr.Lau had an urge to watch the fireworks celebration in KLCC ended up in a racist attack by a group of teenagers. It was posted on Facebook.

According to Mr. Lau, he and a friend of his planned to go join Merdeka Eve celebration at KLCC, they walked through well lit place and was attacked by a group of Malay teenagers. They ended up with injuries and no one cares about them, to make it worse—the teenagers says “Baliklah ke negara asal”

Mr. Lau even had problems making a police report.

This shows how inefficient the government bodies are in handling these racism problem. I know, racism is happening in every coutries, and it’s difficult to banish them completely.

However in my opinion, we should 大事化小,小事化無. Life is too short on hating someone.

Remember guys, this is only a minority of people are causing troubles. I believe 99% majorities are harmless and we all wished to live in harmony. Don’t get agitated easily and revenge on 99% of them. Remember, most of us are harmless.

Lastly, I would like to wish all Malaysian a Happy 53th Merdeka. Our freedom did not come easily.

Malaysia is my home and I love this country :)

(despite how sucky is streamyx…. heh)

Oh by the way, I will remove inappropriate comment. So don’t even try.. constructive comments are always welcome.

I totally disagree with your suggestion to 大事化小,小事化無. The reason being that if these matters keep being swept under the carpet (which is the effect of 大事化小,小事化無), then those who perpetrate these acts, will think that they can and will always get away with it ... and they will be more brazen about it and will do it again and again with an escalation in the violence. And the likelihood would be that they will rope in more friends to do the same.

I am not suggesting to retaliate violence with violence but such matters must be brought forward, highlighted and debated .. AND the authorities must be MADE to react positively and swiftly to nip such aspiring anarchists in the bud. Are we going to wait until Malaysia is overrun by gangsters and terrorists before the silent majority is going to say anything ? By then, it will be too late ....

Thanks for leaving your constructive comment. I see where you're coming from and I honestly think that you have valid point. It makes me ponder, what solution are best for long term..

Mr Lau,
I am syphathise to what happened to u. Sometimes the world is not fair. Cos' the bad people did bad (u see what namewee did hurt the nation ) but the good people like u been attack by uncilised malay youngster. thaks

hey.. no comments in ur comment box? means no one can think of any constructive comments? haha..lol.
i'm proud that we are living in multiracial country. knowing how to speak different languages make us a language genius in front of the foreigners.
To the 1% troblemakers, u should go to hell as hell is your "negara asal". don't make malaysians' life miserable. Sabah boleh!

To: blogger,
you are really "mang" because the starring of the incidents actually visited and commented on your blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!that is really cool. keep it up! sabah boleh! hahahaha =)

Sabah boleh!!

We're so patriotic.. haaahha. Sometimes, these kind of issues does not require any response. You see, 99% of my readers are diam diam wan, the 1% who leaves comments, left good ones. If Malaysia is like my readers... so nice. (I can delete comments I don't like hahahaha).

HI,
thank you for highlighting my account in your blog.
just to reconfirm a few things:
I'm not stating that 'no one came to help', but I can still walk to seek help from the Convention Center Security Guards. A few curious people asked what happened but they couldn't do anything.
It's not the racism issue that the the police is not keen to know but any minor incidents would ned to go through 'the proper procedures'

thanks - hope for peace

Thank you for dropping by Mr Lau, hope you feel better and recover soon :)
